I'm pretty tired of both The Who and The Doors by now, but The Who definitely suck less than The Doors. The Who at least stood for something.

Never been a big fan of smoke on the water, and skynrd, who I really like just was against better songs.

You have to dig a little deeper with them as I agree that most of their famous songs are not that good. But they have tons of great stuff and Baba O'Reilly is an epic track.

This is my favorite song of theirs: Love Ain't For Keeping

I once loved The Who. Then during my freshman year of college one of my roommates (three-person room ftl) played The Who CONSTANTLY at very high volume on MY stereo. On many an occasion I would be walking toward my dorm and could hear The Who from much farther away than appropriate. Thus, I came to loathe them.

I hate almost all Doors, but LA Woman is the **** and should rightfully be kicking the balls off Baba O'Reilly.

I also so far disagree with every single one of Taso's picks, I think.

For the first round a select group gathered in Paris to whittle down the 220 nominated songs to the field of 64.

Through the first four words of your post we were *this* close to agreeing on something!

CQ, LA Woman is very nearly already on the scrapheap of musical history, but Baba O'Reilly will still be played after both of us are dead. Which will be sooner rather than later for you if you keep besmirching The Who!
